Yeah....
Remember my one day brush with SUPER GLAMOUR, when lovely Leanne sent a TRAVELING RED DRESS to me?
That was FUN! Wasn't it!?! Yeah...and then you're supposed to put that dress back in the magic box and send it off again.
It's not supposed to stay here. It's supposed to be a TRAVELING red dress. TRAVELING.
It's supposed to have been on its way back to Leanne. Like--a long time ago.
Ooops!
But... what if I kinda liked it. What IF, this awakened a WHOLE NEW KAREN?!?
WHAT IF I'M A GLAMOUR ADDICT NOW?!?!
YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO:
HIT THAT PLAY BUTTON GIRLS!
I mean, housework is BORING! VACUUMING NEEDS GLAMOUR
WORK IT, GLAMOROUS KAREN, WORK IT!!!!!
LAUNDRY-SHMAUNDRY. DO IT WITH GLAMOUR
DUSTING SUCKS BIG BUTTS!
DUST WITH GLAMOUR
DOING DISHES MAKES US WANT TO STICK SHARP OBJECTS IN OUR EYES! NOT ANY MORE! NOW WE SCRUB THEM POTS AND PANS
WITH FREAKING GLAMOUR!
LIVIN' IT AND LOVIN' IT, GIRLS
OOPS! DON'T MIND ME! JUST HAD TO TAKE A COFFEE AND GLAMOUR BREAK

REEKING OF GLAMOUR
My Grandma made me this shawl for my wedding. It was freakishly hot that day though, so I've only used it as a scarf. xoxoxo Grandma! |

Sigh.
Okay, okay. I'm sending the dress back where it belongs so it can do MORE GOOD! You'll have to stay tuned for that.
Oh, and Leanne......forgive me!
I was taken over by
GLAMOUR!!!!
You dust like a Goddess!
ReplyDeleteKaren, you're so freaking hot! I feel like jumpin' ya!
m.
Mark, you're hilarious. You're so weak for some glamour makeup and over the top scenarios.
DeleteYep, this is where it ALL starts, Karen - right here, in that red dress! From now on, you'll be drawn to wonderful frockage, impractical shoes, fake hair (I know ALL about that, I love a wig) retro/vintage fripperies and multiple accessorising.
ReplyDeleteHurrah!
Whatever makes the chores more bearable, go for it! Of course, I prefer to wear all the glamorous stuff, but NOT do any housework, I find that the perfect combination.
You know how gorgeous you are, don't you? I hope you do, cos LOOK at you, Glamour Queen!
You may be sending the dress back to Leanne - but there are plenty more dresses out there just waiting for you to fill them with sexy Karen-ness! xxxxxxxxx
It's true, Curtise: I am developing a greater love for dresses. I haven't liked dresses for a long time, but lately I've discovered my inner...er...girl.
DeleteGet a pink dress, for your inner girl.
DeleteYeah! I was just thinking that after reading your pink post. I thought NEVERMIND abour a RED DRESS--how about a PINK DRESS! Oh, I drool just thinking about it.
Deletehey Mrs Glamourous! you look great! keep it up!
ReplyDeleteha, thanks Clare!
Deleteit was a glamorama up in your house!! i think you were feeling it more this time than the last time. maybe it's the fake hair that does it for you.
ReplyDeleteI totally enjoyed myself more this time Sherilin. I'm in my element when I'm being an idiot.
Deleteidiot-ville is a comfortable place, is it not?
Deletei've been feeling more friendly toward dresses lately too. i'm not sure what's come over me, but i've actually considered trying to find one to buy. i haven't worn a dress for anything other than a wedding or funeral in many years, but somehow the idea that they might be nice is sneaking up on me.
Damn. Glamor. You're making me think about it. That's probably not going to go anywhere good.
ReplyDeletetrue, Jeanne, true. I just put my scuffy jeans back on after that, and got back to reality.
DeleteHaha! Glamour Attack, Glamour Attack!!!!!! Oh when that monster takes hold, all you can do is slather on the makeup and ride the wave! This is perfect! I hope you had cocktails while cleaning! This just made my whole day!!!
ReplyDeleteokay, thanks Leanne. I'm glad you're not totally annoyed with me, because I have a serious mental deficiency when it comes to accomplishing things on time. The dress will return, and then I guess you'll have me on a "DO NOT SEND TO THIS PERSON" list. :(
DeleteVa Va Voom with a vacuum!
ReplyDeleteooo..that's a good slogan..
DeleteSo, this is why I don't enjoy chores. No glamor.
ReplyDeletethat, and because they SUCK.
DeleteYou must have had to work super duper hard vacuuming considering it was not plugged in....maybe you can show us how you glamour sweat.
ReplyDeleteTrust you to post a wild and crazy post about how awesome housework can be.
Melissa, I laughed out loud when I read this. I was sooooo DELIGHTED that somebody noticed the thing wasn't even plugged in. Honestly, that's why you're the DECORATOR EXTRAORDINAIRE: you've got the EYE for detail!
DeleteSorry , I can't help it!!! LOL
Deletethat's okay--it was HILARIOUS.
DeleteHa !!! Too funny! Did you know Aunt Pat used to put the same mole on her face when she went out bar hopping in her silver lame tights??? Yeah and one night just before she left the house my dad said " Pat you got something on your face!" and wiped it off. She was so pissed off at him. They laughed about this for years!!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you served your hubby his dinner wearing this!!!!!
Pam, that's hilarious. I'll have to share that story with Dad. He'll get a kick out of it. BEAUTY MARK. Call it a BEAUTY MARK.
DeleteI am surprised you didn't stick some bling bling on the vacuum cleaner..lol.
ReplyDeleteOh, I should have! A great big PINK BOW!
DeleteYou, girl, are not only glamorous, you are SAUCY!
ReplyDeleteI don't even want to know how much time you invested in this blog post.
You look fantastic. Love it!
Don't think of it as investing time in a blog post, Grace. Think of it as INVESTING TIME in boring housework avoidance. There. Now it's an ART.
DeleteThis is going on a tshirt STAT:
ReplyDeleteFRYING UP A FRESH BATCH OF GLAMOUR!
You are rocking the crap out of that red dress, sister!!
Sarah xxx
DO IT DO IT DO IT! That SHOULD be on a t-shirt.
DeleteIs that the paparazzi I see peaking in your window in that one picture?
ReplyDeleteOh yeah..I have to keep all the windows covered here, or I'd get NO privacy.
DeleteJust found you through sopastcaring.blogspot.com. What a shot of GLAMOUR in the arm you are! I look forward to reading your posts.
ReplyDeleteGive me a visit some time at thriftshopcommando.blogspot.com.
Hi Tami! Thanks for stopping by. I absolutely will pop in for a visit!
DeleteYou rock! You've managed to be beautiful while doing housework! This should go in Guiness!
ReplyDeleteLOL jennie! Thank you. I was thinking it was more ridiculous than anything, but hell, I'll take it!
DeleteRight ..Beauty mark!!! Not mole...what was I thinking??
ReplyDeleteyeah, we always used the "beauty mark" euphemism :) So funny.
DeleteIn the picture of you doing the dishes, the happy glamour way...is that Jack's rendition of you running to the hills or the looney bin on the fridge????
ReplyDeleteActually it looks like Maria in her opening scene from The Sound of Music.
ReplyDeletewell let me look.... It was some art assignment in Jack's class and he wouldn't tell me anything about it, just responded with the typical "I don't know" bored kid answer when I asked who it was of. I'm guessing it's some Kwanzaa thing. I'll have to ask his teacher.
DeleteLook at you, all glammed up for housework!!
ReplyDeleteNow that is setting the bar high. The Man will expect fried glamour with a side of sassy every day!
Yeah, he can expect all he wants :) :) :)
